Eliminating faults on the ABURemote

If the crane does not function with ABURemote, or does not function as expected, a fault in the ABURemote may be the cause.

 

Resetting after a malfunction

Depending on the fault, the transmitters and receivers have to be reset differently.

 

In the event of transmitter faults:

●   A message appears on the display.

*   Confirm using the “OK” button.

 

 

In the event of severe transmitter faults:

●   A message appears on the display.

There is no button available.

*   Unscrew the cover cap from the battery compartment, wait several seconds, then screw the cover back on and log in.

If the fault persists: Contact ABUS Service. See ABUS Service.

 

 

In the event of receiver faults:

●   A message appears on the display which begins with “Receiver”.

*   Switch off the crane at the mains switch.

*   Wait at least 60 seconds.

●   Message 101 “Receiver disconnected” appears on the display.

*   Switch on the crane at the mains switch.

*   Log in the transmitter.
